REPORT FROM THE MESSE

Post by Gordon Gekko »

so we did the masterverb test on the new xite-1:

loaded 57 without a problem.. at 58 so many early reflections made the thing hover a bit but we could still load another 37 provided we taped the thing to a table using very strong duck tape.. at 95 the thing went up in the air and bounced off the walls with the table attached to it.. fortunatly we could retrieve it and stabilized it with a 1 ton concrete block sitting on top of it... at 131 we had liftoff and our baby is currently being orbited over Germany

sorry, we couldn't test anything else

I don't have anything to do

Most excellent report, legros. Any idea where the test unit is likely to come down? I'll get the car fired up and nip over with a search party!! Finders keepers.

Does it make much noise when hovering ?

Also when it takes off, does it burn the surface it launches from ?

Well that answers the PCIe question.

Giant mixing and routing projects packed w/ FX plugs everywhere.

Brotha' Man Legros, if you get a chance I would love to hear about how fast Bowen synths load up w/ 8 voice polyphony. :wink:

word is the chinese tried to bring it down using their latest techno: a missile designed to carry only one warhead called the plugiator... simply missed its target as the xite-1 is travelling way too fast

Thank You................Ankyu................Please...stay seated.

You'd think the high quality Chinese plastic case it is housed in would give the rocket greater speed. :lol:


Back to the polyphony question..............................? :-?


I know the demos are using Vrs.5.0, they have enough demos of less capable synths, ask John B. for us.

Please....I am begging. :wink:

oh I'm dead serious here, the bloody thing really went up in space. Now for additional tests you guys will have to figure out a way to get me on the next Soyoutz trip to the ISS where hopefully we'll be able to grab it and continue out duty... but make it quick, word is the US has now our beloved xite-1 into their radars and plan to blow it up into pieces as it soon will be orbiting southern california

sheesh :lol:

I will never need to use 100 masterverbs. I want to know how does it integrate with any major Sequencer software (Cubase, Sonar etc). How solid is the ASIO driver, etc. You know, a "down to Earth" oppinion...

So much for their claim "Using state-of-the-art SHARC signal processors allows for an increase of processing power by a factor of 10 compared to the older 14DSP SCOPE-Board."

I guess that was just a lie.
